It is as shown in the attached Table related statutes.
3. Whether the instant disposition is lawful
A. Whether the instant land was transferred
1) The plaintiff's assertion
The plaintiff provided an OO with the share of the land of this case in accordance with the contract of this case so that the apartment of this case can be newly constructed, and the plaintiff acquired the unit apartment of this case. Since the plaintiff actually newly constructed the apartment on his own land, the part corresponding to the area of the site of the unit of the unit of the unit of the unit of this case among the share of the land of this case cannot be deemed
2) Determination
A) Article 88(1) of the former Income Tax Act (amended by Act No. 11146, Jan. 1, 2012; hereinafter “Income Tax Act”) defines a transfer as “the actual transfer of an asset at cost due to sale, exchange, investment in kind in a corporation, etc., regardless of the registration or enrollment of the asset”. Article 88(2) of the same Act defines a “land category or parcel number as a replotting disposition under the Urban Development Act or other Acts, or where a land category or parcel number is changed due to a land substitution disposition under the Urban Development Act or other Acts, or appropriated
It is stipulated that the transfer shall not be considered as a transfer.
B) In light of the following circumstances revealed in light of the aforementioned facts and the purport of the entire pleadings, it is reasonable to deem that the Plaintiff transferred the instant land shares in accordance with the instant contract at a price equivalent to the amount calculated by deducting the instant shares from the sales price of the instant several apartment units, in return for payment.
① The instant apartment construction project is a general real estate development project for which a disposition for building permission and approval for use was taken place in accordance with the Building Act. For the said project, the Plaintiff entered into the instant contract individually according to the intention of free with OO, and accordingly, the Plaintiff provided ownership in the instant land and purchased the instant several apartment units, and there is no ground to deem that the said series of procedures were conducted due to a replotting disposition under the Urban Development Act and other Acts as stipulated in Article 88(2) of the Income Tax Act.
② The content of the instant contract provides the instant land shares for the new construction of the instant apartment, and as a price for the purchase of the instant several apartment units, the difference between the appraised value of the instant land shares and the selling price of the instant several apartment units is settled. In this case, the Plaintiff’s share in the instant land is the Plaintiff’s share in the instant land, and the ownership of the instant several apartment units sold by the Plaintiff is the right to the site of the instant apartment unit, which is an apartment building, as an element of the instant apartment unit. In other words, the instant share in land is an independent right from the ground building, but the site ownership is all the rights that cannot be separated from the aggregate building. Even for the same purpose of land, since each right is entirely different from the legal nature, it is difficult to view that the Plaintiff newly constructed a water-sale apartment unit on its ground while maintaining part
③ The instant charges, which the Plaintiff provided the instant land share and settled after being sold in lots, are the amount calculated by subtracting the sales value equivalent to the area of payment in lots, multiplied by the ownership of the instant several apartment units from the sale price of the instant several apartment units. The method of settlement is for the convenience of settlement by calculating the value of the instant land share provided by the Plaintiff and the value of the instant several apartment units sold by the Plaintiff according to the respective calculation methods, and by allowing the Plaintiff to pay only the difference, and it is based on the premise that the value of the instant land share and the value of the instant several apartment units are paid. Of the instant land shares, it cannot be said that there was no transaction regarding the land equivalent to the area of the ownership of the instant several apartment units, or that no compensation was paid for the said part.
B. Regarding the timing of transfer
1) The plaintiff's assertion
The time of the transfer of the instant land shares is not February 14, 201, the registration of ownership preservation for the instant land was completed in the name of ○ Real Estate Trust, but rather on April 6, 2007, when the registration of the instant trust was completed in the name of ○ Real Estate Trust.
2) Determination
In light of the following circumstances, it is reasonable to view that the time of transfer of the instant land shares was February 14, 201, when considering the aforementioned facts and the purport of the entire pleadings.
① The Plaintiff agreed to transfer the instant land shares to the owner in accordance with the instant contract. Until the completion of the instant new construction project, the Plaintiff agreed to entrust the instant land shares to ○ Real Estate Trust. By completing the instant trust registration in the meaning of reservation pursuant to the instant trust agreement, the Plaintiff did not complete the disposition of ownership on the instant land shares. In this case, the trustee and the owner of the instant new construction project are the parties having separate legal status in principle, and the same corporation (○○ Real Estate Trust) is the owner and the trustee.
② The Plaintiff under the instant contract prevents the Plaintiff from unilaterally terminating the trust agreement even under the instant trust agreement after the trust registration of the instant land shares was made by the time the trust agreement is terminated, and even under the instant trust agreement, the Plaintiff, the truster, from unilaterally terminating the trust agreement. However, where the trust agreement may be terminated for a certain reason, or where the trust agreement is terminated or the objective business cannot be achieved, the trust agreement shall be terminated (Article 25 of the trust agreement). In such cases, the registration of the trust on the trusted real estate shall be cancelled, the ownership transfer registration shall be completed for the buyer, and the trust property shall be transferred to the beneficiary in the existing state (Article 26 subparag. 1 of the trust agreement). In other words, the trust agreement is scheduled to terminate, and the trustee shall return the trust property to the buyer, beneficiary, etc., not
③ The price for the transfer of the instant land shares is that the Plaintiff purchased the instant several apartment units. The Plaintiff was in a state of unpaid payment until the instant new construction project is completed and the instant apartment registration is completed pursuant to the sales contract. The process was completed under the instant trust agreement and trust registration. The Plaintiff did not receive or agreed to pay the price for the land shares due to the trust agreement. In other words, the instant trust registration did not completely settle the price for the instant land shares.
④ As the purpose of the instant new construction project is achieved and the Plaintiff completed the registration of the instant apartment, it was necessary to prepare a method of guaranteeing the payment of the consideration therefor until the Plaintiff completed the registration of the instant apartment. On the contrary, from the perspective of the owner of the instant new construction project, even if the Plaintiff was unable to obtain full ownership of the instant land shares during the process of performing the instant new construction project, it was necessary to restrict the Plaintiff from disposing of the instant land shares in mind to a third party. Such need arises between the two, to restrict the use, profit-making, and disposal of the instant land shares within the scope of its purpose. Such registration of the instant trust appears to have been completed in order to restrict the use, profit-making, and disposal of the instant land shares within the scope of its purpose
⑤ Although there is an expression "the substitute repayment area" under the contract of this case, it merely appears that the price received by the plaintiff in response to the share in the land of this case is the numerical value converted into the area of the unit apartment of this case, and it does not mean that the actual payment is made. Although the preservation of ownership of this case cannot be viewed as the payment in lieu of the plaintiff, the fact that the transfer of ownership in this case has been actually completed with the registration of preservation of ownership of the plaintiff's share in the land of this case is not changed.
C. As to the computation of transfer value
1) The plaintiff's assertion
The transfer value is illegal to calculate the transfer value on the basis of the sale price determined by the OOO as the sum of the amount equivalent to the actual transaction price and the cash liquidation amount.
2) Determination
According to the above facts, the Plaintiff agreed to recognize the sale price of the instant several apartment units approved by the competent authority (Article 3(3)), and to bear the amount calculated by subtracting the amount of the Plaintiff’s payment in kind from the sale price (Article 4(1)). Thus, it can be deemed that the agreement was reached to regard the sale price as the basis for calculating the sale price. Accordingly, the transfer price of the instant land shares should be calculated based on the sale price according to the terms and conditions of the said agreement. The Plaintiff’s assertion on this part is rejected.
4. Conclusion
The plaintiff's claim is dismissed as it is without merit. It is so decided as per Disposition.
